So I don't know what happened, but my xorg.conf stopped working again. I found a new trick to get it working, adding the following lines to the Screen section: Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1920x1080 +0+0" Option "TVStandard" "HD1080i" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" Sat, Sep 01 2007
I updated my MythTV box for the first time in a while (to support the new SchedulesDirect program guide source). After the upgrade, the new 100.14.11 Nvidia drivers' 1920x1080_120i built-in modeline stopped working properly with my TV. I found a new modeline that works pretty much the same and updated my xorg.conf and all is good again. I've also disabled the glx driver as it was causing troubles with LiveTV and HDTV. Other changes to my setup include using the builtin NIC (8139too driver) now that I have an ethernet jack near the TV (thanks, Steve :) Here's the diff to xorg.conf if you just want the changes:

Finally got my HDTV Myth box built and up and running. It's purty, and mythcommflag makes me happy. Some pictures are here. The most difficult part was finding a 1080i modeline that work with my TV. Eventually, a stock one from the nVidia mode pool worked out the best (1920x1080_120i, using the 8776 drivers). The overscan was compensated for with the following values in the mythtv settings: +----------------------+-----------+ | value | data | +----------------------+-----------+ | GuiWidth | 1750 | | GuiHeight | 976 | | GuiOffsetX | 90 | | GuiOffsetY | 34 | | GuiSizeForTV | 0 | | GuiVidModeResolution | 1920x1080 | +----------------------+-----------+I also set it up so that DVDs are played back at 720x480, as it looks way too jaggy at 1920x1080i.

By default, AAC support is disabled in the Debian mythmusic package. There used to be a libmp4ff distributed with the libfaad* packages, but upstream's makefile no longer installs it so it looks like it got dropped out of the debs. To get AAC support working again, I had to rebuild the faad2 source package with the following patch to debian/rules (download):

Update 2/4/07: I've filed Debian Bug report #409648 on this.
So I had to do a bit of tweaking in the MythTV themes I've been using to account for overscan (the guide and program info, etc were getting cut off a bit). I updated the following files in /usr/share/mythtv/themes:
